43 – World 11. First Hunt (9)
‘Are you coming?’
The 3rd stage evolution object immediately moved its body as if it were angry at the annihilator and soldiers who easily blocked its subordinates.
thump-thump-
Because of its size, it resonated with a heavy sound every time it took a step.
‘Should I step in now too?’
When that guy arrives, I don’t know about the slayer dragon, but it was predestined that the soldiers who were barely holding on were swept away.
But soon, a number of magic arrows rained down on the 3rd stage entity.
Kwak!- Kwam!-
It seemed that as soon as the party backing up saw the 3rd stage object move, they focused their magic arrows on it.
The problem is that even magic arrows can’t do much damage, probably because it’s the 3rd level.
‘It seems that magic arrows only work up to level 2.’
Of course, it would take dozens of rounds to defeat the second stage, too.
Still, the effect was not at all, but the 3rd stage object pulled out the tentacle attached to the side of the body and hit the flying magic arrow.
Incidentally, the tentacle that was pulled out seemed to be 20 meters longer than its body at a cursory glance.
It is almost as long as the 7th or 8th floor of an apartment building.
‘There are 20 to 30 tentacles like that again.’
In addition, seeing each tentacle move differently, I wondered if most people would get hit as soon as they approached.
“…”
The thought was over here.
After all, I couldn’t watch him until he approached.
I felt the mana gradually recovering as the soldiers disappeared, and used the volcanic eruption.
It may be because the recovered magic power is weak, but the power entering the body did not feel so great.
Instead, I could feel the unique emotions creeping up.
It was anger.
‘Is a volcanic eruption a seniority method to fight with anger?’
However, the emotion itself was faint, so it wasn’t to the extent that it bothered me.
This also seemed to be caused by a weak mana.
‘Anyway, I don’t know how long it’s been since I fought with these feelings.’
It wasn’t as bad as I thought.
bang!-
After that, he spurred forward on the ground with all his might and at the same time cut off the beast in front of his eyes with a single blow.
Chuck!—
kiik?
When I suddenly jumped out, all the nearby thugs turned their heads toward me, but it didn’t matter.
Because the sword I wielded was faster than the movements of the beastmen turning their heads.
In addition, the bodies of the beastmen began to disintegrate as if they were literally being torn apart by the great sword that they wielded without rest.
Thanks to that, he cut down 20 or so beasts in an instant, but on the contrary, he didn’t completely break through.
‘They move their tentacles even if their bodies are cut off.’
Even after being severed with a greatsword, the tentacles moved, so there was no choice but to allow the attack to some extent.
However, the damage was not enough to pass through the armor he was wearing, so he ignored it.
Kihehehe!—
Then, after slicing down 40 to 50 bloody tribes, it was around the time they moved forward.
The Stage 3 entity came close to me and swung its long tentacles down.
‘It’s cut.’
There was no option to clumsily block or avoid.
I don’t know if this judgment was due to the volcanic eruption technique, but I raised the tentacles that fell from above my head and cut them with all my might.
Chow!—
It was a tentacle the thickness of a thick log, but it could be cut with one blow.
Along with him, two other tentacles pierced from the front.
I swung my greatsword faster than those tentacles and cut them both in quick succession.
‘now.’
Slicing the tentacle into pieces with my greatsword, I ran with all my might towards the third-stage entity positioned beyond the tentacle fragments falling in mid-air.
bang!-
Unlike a moment ago, when I ran with all my might without hindrance, the tentacles only attacked the spot I had passed.
To be precise, its tentacles couldn’t keep up with my speed.
Thanks to that, I was able to reach him quickly, so I swung my greatsword at my front paw first.
The greatsword cut through his flesh very lightly.
Quaaang!—
Then, there was a white explosion like a flash of light.
‘It exploded.’
The effect of the ‘Rising Dawn’s Greatsword’ that I am currently holding.
When attacking, I realized that there is a 5% chance of doing light property explosion damage.
Furthermore, since it was area-attribute damage, the explosion swallowed even the forepaws and parts of the torso cut by the greatsword.
Aye ae ae ae!!
Nonetheless, the Stage 3 instance extended tentacles from its torso towards me, screaming in agony from the explosion.
aww
A bunch of tentacles flying like they were about to stab me to death.
Looking at them, I gritted my teeth and swung the greatsword with all my might.
At this time, I felt that my strength was going beyond the limit, albeit weakly.
Of course, there was no reason to reject this phenomenon, so I left my body as it was and cut off the body following the tentacles.
Chuck!—
Only one regret is.
Now his body was too big.
No matter how much I cut it with a greatsword, it felt like I was only cutting through the skin.
Here I realized that I had to cut off the long neck up there, not the legs or the body.
‘I don’t know if I’ll die if I cut my throat.’
Aside from its appearance, its body was a mass of tentacles inside a corpse, so I wasn’t sure, but I didn’t care.
If you try once and it doesn’t work, find another way.
Having made that decision, I immediately jumped up and rode on the body of the beast.
As soon as I got on it, I could see small dark green tentacles coming up one by one from the skin of the chest.
Plus two heads that turn 180 degrees.
It was already a movement that was hard to see as a living being.
Also, turning the neck 180 degrees wasn’t enough, so when I saw the beak of the head slashing at me, I immediately ran forward and cut off two heads.
Chow!—
Meee
‘Is he dead?’
I ran forward, cut off both heads, and landed on the floor again to confirm the 3rd stage evolution object.
His neck fell to the ground with a thump, like a large tree falling.
Even the sound he made was getting weaker and weaker.
Thinking that I might not have died like this, I soon saw a slowly moving body with tentacles crawling out of the decapitated area.
“…”
Is this a stage 3 entity?
Two heads were severed, and one front leg and part of the body were blown away by a light elemental explosion.
In addition, it was cut dozens of times with a great sword.
And yet, he was still wriggling, not dead.
‘The difference between step 2 and step 3 is too great.’
The problem was that there were 4 or 5 steps above this.
In fact, if you look closely, the 3rd stage object wasn’t that strong.
The proof was that they had not allowed a single attack so far.
Instead, it had an incredibly tough vitality due to how it was structured.
“Lee Seong-min! Fire!”
“…?”
At that time, Karina’s cry was heard from behind.
“Burn it with fire!”
fire?
Recognizing the word fire, I immediately looked at the slayer dragon behind me.
The annihilating dragon was still using its forepaws and flames to dispose of the beasts.
Thanks to this, the number of thugs decreased by about 100 to 150, but instead, the soldiers were almost completely annihilated.
He planted the flag of the War King, but it seemed that it was difficult to deal with such a number of thugs.
anyway.
“Slaying Dragon, this way, hell breath!”
Hell’s Breath, which is also the killer dragon’s special move.
If you use it, the summoning will be canceled immediately with all your strength, but it was also a powerful attack.
After hearing my command, the slayer dragon’s mouth started to glow with dark red flames.
Seeing that scene, I jumped and fled to the side.
aaang!!
At the moment, the annihilator’s mouth opened wide as if it were roaring with all its might, and a dark red ray of light exploded and swept away the 3rd stage evolution object.
Of course, it went without saying that the existing thugs who existed on the street were also swept away.
‘It’s over.’
In the place where the slayer’s hell breath passed, there was a 3rd stage object that was burned black with only a small amount of flesh remaining.
However, the slayer dragon that shot the hell breath gradually faded and disappeared like a mirage.
Then, the evil tribes who were dealing with the annihilating dragon immediately changed their target and attacked the party behind them.
Of course, I had no intention of leaving it alone, so I immediately tried to run away.
‘Well?’
Before that, Karina and Ren pulled out their swords and axes and charged at them.
‘What are you two doing…’
I ran out thinking about it, and I was able to confirm the appearance of the two fighting much better than expected.
Karina swung her sword with something soft and fast.
Ren repeatedly advanced and retreated with rapid movements, finding an opening and attacking with the feeling of a one-hit kill.
‘Come to think of it, both of them have gone up in agility with the mountain expert set.’
Since agility is said to be in charge of agility, reflexes, and visual acuity, it seemed that he was fully able to see and react to the attack of the beast.
After all, the strength of the two wasn’t low either.
Karina alone had a strength of at least 110.
Of course, even if the two were excellent, it didn’t seem like they were still strong enough to deal with all of the over 100 beasts, so I ran and cut them down.
Chuck!—
After managing to take care of all the evil tribes, Karina and Ren took a moment to catch their breath with a relieved expression on their faces.
“Whoa. Mr. Lee Seong-min You succeeded.”
“It was not difficult.”
It wasn’t a very difficult battle either because the 3rd stage object was tough.
‘Still, it’s a battle with a lot to think about.’
I realized that it is not easy to die with a simple physical attack.
Because it was the Extermination Dragon that finished the 3rd stage object.
Thinking about that part, I took a step and retrieved the War King’s flag from the ground.
“Come to think of it, what the hell is that flag? I guess something worked. What is the dragon you summoned again?”
“I will explain later.”
As I answered, I looked at Muel, Soltis, and Zepin, and I could see that all three of them were looking at me with envy.
I said, checking their eyes.
“Take care of the decision first.”
